“10/10? Lol, give me a break! Iu0026#39;ve been to Israel twice (Iu0026#39;m Irish, not Jewish). That experience means I like films that deal with the Middle East, and itu0026#39;s politics. Iu0026#39;m not pro-Israeli, but I also understand that the Israeliu0026#39;s need to protect themselves. Anyway, this film is about a Mossad agent going undercover in Syria, and thatu0026#39;s interesting to me. It also means I wanted to like this film. The film starts off pretty ok, but then it just descends into total farce. Jonathan Rhys Meyers is usually a good actor, but in this film, he acts terribly. His acting is cheesy, his dialogue is unreal, and his character totally acts like a spy. If I was sitting in a bar in Syria watching him, Iu0026#39;d be like…u0026quot;Ooh, he looks like an Israeli spy!u0026quot;. This film had the potential to be a really good thriller, but sadly it turned out like a block of Edam cheese. I wouldnu0026#39;t bother.”
